sorry kiterunner i have seen the script on google but obviously the date is wrong as it says 1882 , I know esther married george whalley . But maybe the owner of the tree hasn't looked at all this info .from george and esthe and worked the dates .

[Qwackers]

there three years difference between the birth of esther with mother jane birch 1868 and mother mary smallshaw 1871 . It does say age 15 on the marriage form but could that be wrong ? i don't want to tell the owner of the tree unless i can show them

esther's birth is right on the 1901 census where she is 29 .

If that's right then the age 15 on the marriage is also right.

Hi , I have been searching to see what happened to Ellen huyton widow Pauper from post 35 living with her parents . I haven't been able to find her or her marriage . I found fred huyton (highton ) 1861 census living in Pemberton with his grandmother esther and her son and family and also Nancy Highton. which i think must be ellen's daughter also . I can find also a marriage for a fred Highton in 1894 wigan to a wilimina millar . i found a marriage for a nancy highton in 1876 to a nicholas horrocks in Wigan . But her mother remains a mystery . I have tried to find a huyton Marriage for her but as yet haven't found one . Family search isn't so good , it comes up with no matches for a lot of people . since they have changed the format it's difficult . so if you have any ideas i would be grateful.Thanks

I can find also a marriage for a fred Highton in 1894 wigan to a wilimina millar .

I think this is Frederick:

HUYTON, FREDERICK 19
GRO Reference: 1863 D Quarter in WIGAN Volume 08C Page 58

I haven't been able to find her marriage

I don't often see you saying you have tried Lancs OPC. I know it's not perfect for everywhere in Lancs, but easier to look there first before trying FS. If you had looked there it would have been almost impossible not to find her marriage!!

hi , sorry. i looked at a lot of opcs but not lancs Bmd . thanks for that

[Merry]

Not Lancs BMD. Lancs OPC - ie the main search that covers the whole county.

i found a marriage for a nancy highton in 1876 to a nicholas horrocks in Wigan .

You need to look at that marriage on Lancs OPC and decide whether it's the right one.
